Pokemon : The Master of Dragon-Types

Chapter 421: 421. Pachart and Blaziken

Fierce battle sounds rose and fell in the distance.

Even from far away, the ground tremors and loud explosions could still be felt.

This was destined to be an extraordinary night.

"Blaziken, run! Faster!"

Pachart was sprawled on Blaziken's back, weaving through the ice-bound forest, constantly looking back as if some terrifying presence was pursuing him, his face filled with anxiety.

"Quick! Blaziken, faster—you need to be even faster!"

Pachart relentlessly urged the Blaziken beneath him to accelerate, his wrinkled face covered in sweat, dripping from his chin.

Dead—they were all dead!

Not only was Adonis dead, but Knox and Dick were also dead.

Why was Giovanni so strong?

Although their combined strength wasn't overwhelming, it was far beyond that of ordinary Trainers.

With their power, while they couldn't reach the level of a Champion or Elite Four member in the national rankings, they should at least be at the level of a regional Elite.

As a result, facing the full power of Gigantamax Iron Valiant and Gigantamax Lapras, Knox and Dick only managed to resist for a moment before successively falling.

Only he, the weakest of the four, had survived until now, but Gigantamax Iron Valiant was like a guillotine hanging over his head, ready to take his life at any moment.

He had to escape into the city to have any hope of survival!

He didn't want to die yet!

Blaziken darted through the jungle, its Speed Boost ability constantly activating, making it faster and faster. The trees beside it had already become blurs, constantly whistling past.

Pachart hadn't been in such a desperate, frantic flight for a very long time. Ever since his Blaziken had reached Champion-level strength, he had never been in such a dire state.

Almost there—just a little more distance. Escape this forest, and the city would be very close. Then he would be safe!

Just as Pachart watched the edge of the forest getting closer, a whistling wind suddenly came from behind, as if a hurricane was passing through, and the sound grew closer and closer!

Pachart sharply turned his head and saw a massive tornado roaring from the distance, destroying all the trees in its path. Countless trees were uprooted and swallowed into the vortex, heading straight for Blaziken!

Max Airstream!

"Get out of the way, Blaziken!" Pachart screamed hoarsely, commanding Blaziken to try and dodge the Max Airstream, but it was extremely fast. Blaziken simply couldn't react in time and could only watch helplessly as the Max Airstream got closer and closer!

"Protect!"

At the critical moment, Blaziken directly stopped its movement, placed Pachart behind it, and activated a protective barrier, firmly shielding him!

"Boom!"

The Max Airstream directly shattered Blaziken's barrier, and its remaining force struck Blaziken, dealing severe damage, sending it flying and collapsing to the ground, covered in blood.

"Blaziken!" Pachart looked at Blaziken's terrible condition, his face showing an anxious expression, while his gaze vigilantly scanned the dark forest, constantly looking around.

"Giovanni!"

In the silent forest, only Pachart's voice echoed—eerily quiet.

"Come out!"

The silence made Pachart feel terrified. He screamed hoarsely, knowing that he was at his wit's end and couldn't escape.

"You want to see me that badly?"

Just as Pachart was growing increasingly desperate, Jacob's voice rang out, and he slowly emerged from the forest. Standing beside him was Iron Valiant, which had returned to its normal size after exhausting its Dynamax energy.

Iron Valiant's injuries were also extremely severe. While continuously defeating multiple Pokémon, it had also sustained considerable damage, and coupled with the recoil from its Life Orb, its stamina had already reached its limit. If it hadn't been for the significant increase in stamina from Gigantamaxing, it would have collapsed long ago.

However, even so, Iron Valiant still exuded a terrifying aura, and a chilling killing intent radiated from it. The purple twin-bladed weapon in its hands was already stained crimson with blood.

"Giovanni! Let me go! If you let me go, I will obey your commands from now on. I can give you anything you want." Pachart looked at Jacob, his expression agitated, pleading with him. "From today on, I will be your most loyal subordinate. As long as you let me go, I'll agree to anything. I have two daughters—I'll marry them both to you. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you!"

Listening to Pachart's desperate words, Jacob's expression remained calm. His gaze fell on Pachart's tense face, and Jacob sighed deeply. "Alas."

"I told you—when you forced me down this path, I had no way back." Jacob said, his expression gradually chilling. "I was... forced! Only dead men keep secrets. Please, take this secret to your grave!"

"Iron Valiant!"

"No!" Pachart's face showed a horrified expression, but seeing Jacob's resolute killing intent, he quickly commanded, "Blaziken, save me!"

Almost at the instant both gave their commands, Iron Valiant beside Jacob had already charged forward, gripping its twin-bladed weapon. It moved as fast as an afterimage, but Blaziken's speed was also impressive. Dragging its heavily injured body, it collided with Iron Valiant!

"Bang!"

Flames coiled around Blaziken's body, its eyes resolute, as it firmly blocked Pachart, letting out a defiant cry.

It seemed to be declaring that if they wanted to harm Pachart, they would have to step over its fallen body!

Iron Valiant, whose attack was blocked, grew colder in demeanor, then gripped its twin-bladed weapon again and launched its fiercest attack toward Blaziken. But Blaziken's reaction was equally quick, directly responding to Iron Valiant's attack with a full-power Blaze Kick.

"Bang!"

The twin-bladed weapon was firmly blocked by the Blaze Kick.

At that instant, Iron Valiant's hand gripping the weapon slightly shifted, transforming the twin-bladed weapon into two separate blades. It held one blade in its right hand, continuing to resist Blaziken's kick.

With its left hand, it held the other blade and suddenly thrust toward Blaziken!

The blade tip was still covered in blood, reflecting a sinister light. In that moment, Iron Valiant seemed to transform from a warrior into an assassin, launching its most deadly attack!

Blaziken had no time to react. It had never expected that Iron Valiant's twin-bladed weapon could separate into two.

"Pfft!"

The blade tip plunged into Blaziken's flesh, blood splattering, instantly causing Blaziken to let out a pained cry. Already heavily injured, it had now reached its absolute limit.

And Iron Valiant gave Blaziken no chance to recover. Gripping the two blades in its hands, it leaped up, pressing against Blaziken's body, and viciously slashed at Blaziken's neck.

Blood sprayed as the head of the Champion-level Blaziken was severed. Also severed was Pachart's last hope.

Dead—even Blaziken was dead!

Watching Blaziken fall, Pachart's heart instantly died with it. At that moment, he remembered every experience he had shared with Blaziken, and his face showed an expression of painful regret. Why had he agreed to Adonis's proposal?

He had not only doomed himself but also Blaziken.

"Blaziken... I'll be with you soon."

Pachart's face showed a resigned expression as he quietly awaited death's arrival.

The pain was only for an instant. He hadn't even fully processed what was happening before he felt his entire body lift into the air, the world spinning, and saw his own headless body below.
